Virginia came within one point on a layup by Guy to make it 33-32 with 2:14 to play, but layups by Williamson and Barrett saw the Blue Devils go into the halftime break with a 37-32 lead.

"We know how talented this team is, so we know we're in for a real battle, but we're ready for it". 2 Duke was for U.Va., which got its first road victory against a top-five-ranked opponent since '93 by virtue of that win, that version of the Blue Devils didn't include freshman forwards Zion Williamson (21.2 points per game, team-high 9.4 rebounds per game, two steals per game), R.J. Barrett (team-high 23.4 ppg, 6.9 rpg) and Cam Reddish (13.3 ppg) - all of whom could be selected in June in the top five picks of the National Basketball Association draft.

In fact, on that play, Williamson dribbled the length of the court, shielded two defenders and finished off a right-handed dunk, all despite a foul mid-windup.

Then Williamson tomahawked on Huff so hard Virginia coach Tony Bennett immediately removed the 7-foot-1 forward from the game, presumably so his team's medical staff could make sure Huff was still alive. Led by experience and system proficiency, the team's top six scorers are all 21-years old.

No. 1 Duke and fourth-ranked Virginia kept trading baskets - and the lead - down the stretch of another classic at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "And your reward for that is, you get to go to Duke next". Because the Blue Devils' simply relied on their two superstars to be great and create a win the same way the Houston Rockets often rely on James Harden to be great and create wins.
